I lived with the regret of a lost loved one for the better part of the last 4 years. I was 15 and the only other person living at home when my father passed away. I was 11 years old when I first undertook the responsibility of caring for him. He was a severe alcoholic suffering from a serious case of pneumonia and poorly treated diabetes and related nerve damage in his legs and feet. He eventually reached the point where he couldn't even leave the house. That's when things got really bad. I spent a week with him trying to coax him out of a severe withdrawal. He hallucinated for days. I didn't call 911 because I had no idea what I was supposed to do. Eventually, I woke up one morning in his bed and he wasn't there enxt to me. I found him outside in the snow, alive, but barely. Called an ambulance immediately and he was put into a medically induced coma for 2 weeks to purge his system.
He struggled with alcoholism even more after that. His diabetes got worse. His feet were a mess. He cut his foot and didn't realize it and due to the lack of circulation it never healed properly which lead to a serious infection. Close to two years of frequent hospital visits for months at a time. His infection wore down his body. We wore down each other. I don't know how many times I had called an ambulance for my father over the years, but the worst times were when he would hallucinate. Fever induced or withdrawal induced, they were hard times. I shouldn't have been living at home and he shouldn't have had custody over me. When I found him deceased I felt like I had failed as a human being. From age 11 to 15 I spent every day in fear that he would die. I lived in a very f----- up situation where his well being was everything to me. Nearly every day I felt the anxiety that he would die and I would be alone. It eventually happened.
I've recently come to terms with it though. It was not my fault, nor was it his. It was a situation that had developed out of hand, he was sick and there's nothing I as a younger teenager could have done. Acceptance was really hard to come by, and I can't speak upon how I achieved it, but I no longer look back on the traumatic events I lived through as a fault in my life. It was an experience that I, unfortunately, had to live through, but it's allowed me to appreciate my life a lot more than I ever have.

I legitimately do not regret a single moment in my life so far because it has led me to be the person I am today and any mistakes no matter how severe have just helped me to grow as an individualunderground, Ordinary Joel and Raziel like this. -
